Henry Kissinger has died at 100 : NPR
Henry Kissinger, a key figure in US foreign policy for more than half a century, has passed away at 100. As the secretary of state and national security adviser to Presidents Nixon and Ford, Kissinger was instrumental in managing diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, China, and major Arab nations. His approach was often defined by the belief that national interests should be prioritized over the promotion of human rights. Despite criticism of some of his decisions, Kissinger’s influence on US diplomacy remains significant even today. Kissinger’s life experiences, from fleeing Nazi Germany to serving in the US Army, informed his pragmatic and often controversial approach to international relations.
